If this were true, I would curse my non-Japanese citizenship until the end of time.
That said, Japan is short on children as it is, so where would they get all those lolis?

Unless i've forgotten basic math , the result is 1.
That's what they want you to believe.
There has been a major question in my head concerning the new Sailor Moon franchise.
I have a sinking feeing its not what people think it is.
I think Toei has too much invested in Pretty Cure. Reason why Knights of the Zodiac is pretty safe is audience.
This one however, is a bit scary.
One, the way there is no key art. For Kill La Kill we had one 6 and half months in advance and the rest just came out as more was available.
We had one small announcement and the show will be ready by mid December?
We have no idea of the committee working on the show.
We do know that Nico Nico is streaming the show, but on a premium level. The shows that have done this however, are nowhere close to the quality of say Attack on Titan on its good days.
We don't know who is back or who is writing the show - but Urobochi is out - hes working on Samurai Fruit Capoeira Rider or whatever the fuck it goes by. Most of the VA's retired.
Most shows would be ready in October - and the fact this show is going to air in Mid Dec is a red flag. It tells me this isn't what anyone is looking for or towards.
So what I see is this -
Its like DBZ Kai. Which means the series is up for grabs in the US.
Its a Flash Series like Punchmas. Messy as fuck but its par for the course for Toei Doga.
Its a short form series like Tennku. Massive disappointment but then parts of the businesses are stronger than others.
Its a preview for a movie - understable but still blue balls.
Its a short form live action series like PSSM - crazy but possible.
Its one of those "Comic Machima" things: That's the way it looks like to me.
All I see is Toei trying to protect their more "Conservative" (read it as 2Ch Otaku)investment in Pretty Cure - where its about to reach long toothness with the bullshit even the fucking kids cant it stand any the fuck more.

Yes, so post-post-haly is equivalent to haly.

new intro is fun, even though someone has some weird fetish with biribiri's shorts which are in every freaking shot.
Not entirely sure what this eps was for... and that whole bickering bit in the restaurant was terrible. Touma needs to come and pimp slap all these girls.

Benten has such a dominant presence on the screen.
I still don't know what's the deal with the Friday Fellows.
For the rest, I love how leisurely they treat scenes that would normally be tense, like the entire part with the FF. The show has not lost its quirky charm since episode 1, and the visuals are as good as ever.

They were lampshading that the paradigm of "eating tanuki hot-pot every year" is something that's kind of just there, and not even they know why they do it. I wonder if the guy they mentioned as introducing it will play a larger role later on, or if the whole thing will remain more obscure.

Dokidoki precure - 27
Cure Ace is too powerfull .... let's nerf her !
This is trully the very first time i've seen such a nerfing 5eps only after an appearance for a character in the precure franchise. i'm speechless.
Not that i mind aguri being a regular character ( and that means having up and downs , tastes and desires ) but seriously the ACE part of her character totally disapeared with this episode ..the good part is that she now can be part of the regular cure cast like other cures since she is grounded with the rest of the cast but i honnestly don't like this turn of events.
Cure moonlight acted as a senpai , and even if she needed help to come back , it was part of a natural flow of event as we knew FROM the START that she wasn't almighty. But here ? Disapointed i am.
So yeah this episode told us that aguri is really who she claim to be , she love sweets , she has a freaking
and now her attacks
Yeah disapointing.
At least the NEW ending theme is alright , there was nothing bad in it even if it doesn't come close to being in my top 3.

Yeah disapointing.

In the description Shino goes to the UK at 15yrs old and in middle school. By the time Alice gets to Japan, Shino is in High School.
I don't know about Japanese schools but do they separate schools for High School and Middle School.

Why do you think that is so? Also, they have to import a lot from China, which is assisted by the one Child Policy.
It gets better:

Sounds like my thoughts a bit.
It's mentioned in the first episode
Well Later cures get nerfed a bit just so everyone else can keep up... just nowhere near to Ace's level. Considering her weakness sounds too big in the case of Precure All Stars, one has to wonder if this gets eliminated as we go on. Because god damn.
Speaking of which, We need Aguri/Cure Ace x Duracell porn stat!
You say that like I'm watching it
It was announced earlier in the year the the whole rumored delay. Now its appatently back on track. Doesnt bode well.

Well why aren't you in the first place?
Full CG like Precure EDs.
And the series only gets better, wait until rugby
Takeuchi made it dark enough to begin with. Many of the concepts seen in Madoka were taken from Sailor Moon.
We all would. The show was already really dark.

The air date of the show means nothing. Precure, for instance, doesn't air "on schedule" with other anime, but its season starts a month or so after all the others do.
While it is slightly worrying that we have seen no promo art at this stage, and I don't have much faith in Toei's staff to produce something as interesting as the original show visually, I don't think the air date in itself is a sign of total disaster.
I don't think this is the case at all, regardless about my feelings about your arguments about conservative otaku.
It is highly unlikely that Toei are the driving force behind the new Sailor Moon anime. The right to make further use of the Sailor Moon property ultimately rests with Naoko Takeuchi and Kodansha (as represented by Osa-P). They will be the ones calling the shots, and nothing in the promotional work they have done so far insinuates anything like PuchiMas (or, perhaps more appropriately, Glass no Kamen Desu Ka).
At the press conference it was apparently confirmed that the anime will follow the original storyline but will not be a straight remake, whatever that means (presumably there will be plot elements updated for twenty years later, and possibly some changes incorporated from PGSM?). I think that pretty much counts out a DBZ Kai style update, or indeed many of the other suggestions you've got (for instance, it is specifically announced as a new anime at every point - there is no danger of it being a live action show).

Love Lab and Kiniro Mosiac. You have one show about depression moe, you need upbeat shows to off set it!
Whatever age she is, she is perfect.
Agreed. KinMoza must be viewed. Its just feel good adorableness and every season needs a show like it.
A Sailor Moon without Mamoru's conspicuously 90s sound system or Ami printing off Kenny Loggins lyrics on a dot matrix printer is no Sailor Moon at all.

Get ready for motherfucking iphones yall!
And I bet the new TUXEDO RAMASAMA will suck at saying Sailor Moon as smooth as the old.

I want Saya no Uta levels of dark here.
Its a show left behind by the times. The new project will have to be extremely careful not to fuck it up. It can use more currently relevant scenarios and situations but the core characters need to remain thesame. They need to react and respond as in the original show.

Which actually makes me think, if its going to be closer to the manga or whatever, wouldn't it mean less opportunities for development?

Ami's visor will be replaced by Google Glass and Sailor Pluto will no longer exist.

Sailor Moon is just evidence of our Earth-centric bigotry against non-earth persons.
Thats so mean. So fucking mean. And yet brilliant.
